 Terms Conference in *'Rapids" 



On Wednesday, January II, H. J. Kenner, director of the Na- 

 tional Vigilance Committee, came into Grand Rapids and spent 

 the day in looking over some of the lines of furniture exhibited 

 by Grand Rapids manufacturers, with Francis D. Campau, counsel 

 for the Furniture Manufacturers' .Association. This was prelim- 

 inary to a meeting arranged for Thursday between Mr. Kenner, 

 George N. Lamb, secretary of the American Walnut Manufacturers' 

 Association; J. C. Wickliffe, secretary of Mahogany Manufac- 

 turers' Association; John L. Young, and Richard H. Lee, represent- 

 ing the Cleveland conference called by the Vigilance Committee 

 of the Advertising Clubs, and Messrs. R. W. Irwin, E. A. Wallace, 

 N. W. McClave, and John D. Karel, representing manufacturers in 

 Grand Rapids. 



On Thursday, January 1 2, these committees met in joint session, 

 which continued throughout the day and their progress was re- 

 flected in Mr. Lee's address at the evening meeting. 



Mr. Lee, after he had eloquently and forcefully urged honesty 

 in advertising for the sake of the advertiser, the consumer, and 

 for advertising itself, as the ultimate expression of American sales- 

 manship, told of the conference of the day and announced that 

 no standards had been promulgated at the Cleveland conference 



that only suggestions had been made, in order that addressed 



to those suggestions the Vigilance Committee might have the 



benefit of the thought of all parties concerned. Some suggestions 

 had been received and he said that the Grand Rapids conference 

 had been so helpful that he was confident that a way might be 

 arrived at to secure honesty in advertising of furniture, which 

 would benefit every honest manufacturer and dealer and make 

 difficult the way of the crook and the pirate in the industry. He 

 stated that the committee had no intention of publishing stand- 

 ards without further conference and said that in the near future 

 another conference would be held on the subject — probably at 

 Chicago. 



Mr. Lee's address was warmly received and it was a matter of 

 regret on the part of many that he felt disposed, on account of 

 the lateness of the hour, to curtail his remarks. 



After the conference of Thursday and Mr. Lee's talk there is 

 a general feeling that the proposed classification of furniture, 

 by letter as "AA" — "A" — "B", etc., according to its content of 

 woods, will be dropped and that standard designations, more in 

 line with those which have been used by the trade, will be 

 adopted. 



Everyone wants the matter disposed of and no one more than 

 the mahogany and walnut interests, who frankly state that the 

 agitation is not altogether to their interest in its present form. 



YOU WILL not 

 appreciate the 

 Mengel grade and 

 the Mengel serv- 

 ice until you have 

 tried "something 

 just as good." But 

 will you not tal^e 

 our word for it?
